Oh, I also forgot to talk about the web conferences! I meant to last week, but life got a little hectic so there is no better time than the present. :)
My web conferences had a few technical difficulties, but despite half of the time on Missy's cell, I did enjoy the experience. I got to see what it was really like to talk to a student that cares about my comments and takes notes during the conference, and I also spoke with a student who did not even bring his paper to our meeting. I did not dislike either experience despite their differences, and I actually learned more from a very close to hands-on conference with a current student. I used to be the student that really cared what the teacher said (not that I am not still), but I never really took notes. I usually was confident in my paper, and I took into consideration what the teacher said. I am aware that this sounds a little egotisitc, but unfortunately, that's how I was in high school. So, it was really educational to see the other two extremes and use my memory of being in high school in order to get through to each individual. I love being honest with the students about my study habits, because I think that it makes them listen to you more willingly. That's all for tonight, my friends...good night.
